Retro Olive Nuggets for Easter Cocktail Party

We’re having JT’s family over for cocktails after our RCYC luncheon. I’m making totally retro food, Deviled Eggs, Mini Easter Cupcakes and Retro Olive Nuggets. JT’s sister used to make a version of these for the cottage cocktail parties their parents held in the 80’s! JT and I talked about making them for Easter and coincidentally a Balderson Cheese booklet had an intriguing recipe, so it had to be done!

Retro Olive Nuggets

Retro Olive Nuggets (my variation, of course)

1/4 lb Shredded Aged Cheddar (I used orange, but you can use white too!)

1/4 cup softened unsalted butter (the original recipe asks for salted butter, but the olives and the chipotle spice I added made it salty enough!)
